Given the limited, and reducing ability to get large sanction fees from circuits, surely most of this international expansion ambition is reliant on the new TV rights deal's ability to underwrite the cost?
Does a more international calendar in turn affect the chances of getting a larger rights fee. It certainly greatly affect the costs to any broadcaster....
